Food food suspensions

Starch is often modified by hydrolysis with hydrochloric or sulfuric acid (93). The resulting product is resistant to syneresis, keeps food in suspension after cooking, and exhibits much greater free2e—thaw stabUity than unmodified starch. Modified starch is commonly used in baby food, fro2en prepared foods, pie fillings, meat products, and candy. 

The discussion above that led to Eqs. (4.2.6 and 4.2.7) assumes that the no-slip condition at the wall of the pipe holds. There is no such assumption in the theory for the spatially resolved measurements. We have recently used a different technique for spatially resolved measurements, ultrasonic pulsed Doppler velocimetry, to determine both the viscosity and wall slip velocity in a food suspension [2]. From a rheological standpoint, the theoretical underpinnings of the ultrasonic technique are the same as for the MRI technique. Flence, there is no reason in principle why MRI can not be used for similar measurements.

This work reports rheological measurements of food polymer suspensions and emulsions. These are typical of a large number of foods and their rheological behaviors.

Related Calculations. Use this procedure for soda, sulfate, bleached sulfite, and reclaimed and ground-wood paper stock. The values obtained are valid for both suction and discharge piping. The same general procedure can be used for sand mixtures, sewage, trash, sludge, foods in suspension in a liquid, and other slurries. 

Many foods are oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsions (o/w), with dispersed particle size range of 0.01-10 p.m (Rahalkar, 1992). Many of the equations discussed for food suspensions are also applicable to emulsions. In a dilute emulsion, the particles are far apart and the interparticle interactions are relatively weak. Skim milk is an example of a dilute emulsion with the concentration of fat droplets (dispersed phase) <1%.

The solid particles in PF dispersions are not of simple shapes (e.g., spheres, rods) and they are deformable, and have multimodal size distributions (Tanglertpaibul and Rao, 1987a). Also, the particles are hydrated and are in physical and chemical equilibrium with the continuous medium so that they differ significantly from artificial fibers such as of glass or of synthetic polymers. The continuous phases of PF dispersions also have features that are different than those of non-food suspensions. The continuous medium of a typical food dispersion, usually called serum, is an aqueous... 

Because no general theories exist even for concentrated non-food suspensions of well defined spherical particles (Jeffrey and Acrivos, 1976 Metzner, 1985), approaches to studying the influence of the viscosity of the continuous medium (serum) and the pulp content of PF dispersions, just as for non-food suspensions, have been empirical. In PF dispersions, the two media can be separated by centrifugation and their characteristics studied separately (Mizrahi and Berk, 1970). One model that was proposed for relating the apparent viscosity of food suspensions is (Rao, 1987) ...

Many products derived from fruits and vegetables are important items of commerce. These products including, tomato concentrates, concentrated orange juice, apple sauce, and baby foods are suspensions or dispersions. 

Dzuy and Boger (2) employed a mixer viscometer for the measurement of yield stress of a concentrated non-food suspension and called it the "vane method . Yield stress of apple sauce samples was determined by means of the vane method by Qiu and Rao (22) using two vanes. The maximum recorded torque (Tm) value, and the diameter (Dv) and the height (H) of the vane were used to calculate the yield stress (Ov) according to the equation ...

The model predicts the viscosity of the serum when the pulp content is zero. The coefficient A indicates the contribution of a unit amount of pulp content and the coefficient B is the slope of a plot of log pulp vs. log specific viscosity of the dispersion and it reflects the relative intensity of pulp content in different food suspensions or the effect of different processes and/or cultivars that could influence the pulp content. The magnitudes of B for the tomato concentrates, COJ, and apple sauce varied over the limited range of 1.26 - 1.49, suggesting that there was not much difference in the influence of pulp content. For tomato concentrates and apple sauce, the contribution of the dispersed solids was much more than that of the continuous medium (43.). ... 

Wall effects in capillary flow of suspensions such as apple sauce occur as a result of velocity gradient near the wall that in turn causes the suspended particles to move away from the wall region. The net result is slip of the fluid at the wall (23., 24.) The correct shear rate can be calculated from flow rates corrected for slip. The procedure, due to Mooney (42.), requires the use of several capillaries of different different length to diameter ratios has been applied to food suspensions by Higgs (38) and Kokini and Plutchok (22.) to show that slip effects are significant. These results also suggest caution in using... 

Itraconazole capsules should be taken with or after food to improve absorption, whereas itraconazoie soiution shouid be taken at ieast one hour before food. Food increases the absorption of posaconazoie suspension, and this shouid be taken with a meat or nutritionat supptement. Some manufacturers advise taking keto-conazoie with food, but two studies have shown iittie effect of food on absorption, and one actuatty showed a decrease. The bioavail-abitity of voriconazote is modestty reduced by food, and the manufacturer recommends it be taken at least one hour before or after a meal. Food does not appear to affect the bioavailability of fluconazole capsules. 

Food suspensions are made by any of the suspension preparation techniques described elsewhere in this book (see, for example. Section 7.1.3). Related to food suspensions are a variety of microencapsulated ingredients used in foods, which are usually in the form of a suspension at some stage in their production. The...
